In the summer of 2012 Facebook launched a real-cash gambling application developed by the London based online gambling operator Gamesys. As featured in this app, gamers will be able to play numerous online games on Facebook with the chance of winning real money. A spokesperson for the company producing the app stated "Real money gaming is a popular and well regulated activity in the UK, and we are allowing a partner to offer their games to adult users on the FAcebook platform in a safe and controlled manner'.

However this move has generated controversies, UK members will be able to view the app and due to the number of young and vulnerable people on Facebook in the UK, this may encourage these people to gamble. As well as age restrictions on the application, a spending limit will also be in place to prevent excessive player losses, helping to negate bosses for problem gamblers and children using their parent's money.
